PATIENT'S TABLE SENSITIVE TO TOUCH PRESSURE FOR TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61B6/04 A61B8/13 A61B6/03 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medical equipment, namely to a device for patient’s lying on it during a medical imaging procedure. The device contains a case, a pressure sensor matrix, an electronic processor, a long-term data carrier. Pressure sensors are located on the upper surface of the case and are made for measuring pressure along the upper surface. The electronic processor is functionally connected for reading indications of pressure sensors. The long-term data carrier stores instructions to be read and executed by the electronic processor. The pressure sensor matrix is used for assessment of flexure. At the same time, assessment of flexure includes the determination of a flexure value by integration or summing contributions to flexure of weight distribution shares by weight distribution. In another option, the device for patient’s lying on it contains an imaging device. At the same time, the case is made with the possibility of loading of a patient into the imaging device for imaging.

EFFECT: due to assessment of flexure, using the calculation of the total effect from contributions to flexure of weight distribution shares, more accurate assessment of failure in real time is provided, more accurate assessment of a position and movement of a patient undergoing imaging is achieved, a context-related correcting action is provided in response to the detected patient’s movement, including the use of patient’s breath monitoring, lying on stomach and on back, as well as the need for repeated scanning or use of movement adjustment relatively to certain data parts is indicated.
